Here's what I think someone has been saying happens.
Phone rings and no one picks up.
After 4 rings, the answering machine picks up.
After 2 more rings, the fax machine picks up. If it detects a fax
modem sending, it responds. Otherwise it hangs up.
*** Not so, if it detects a fax it receives the fax.
Eventually the answering machine hangs up, having recorded the
fax "conversation".
**** Not so as it receives the fax and if it is a voice mail it records that
after the 4th ring.
Is that what happens?
*** no
If so, why does it matter where the answering machine is?
**** I wish I knew, all I know is that it doesn't work for me unless the
answering machine is hooked into the all-in-one.
